Re: [NTG-context] TeX + Metapost syntax highlighting in Vim

Mojca, just wonderful to see that there's another ConTeXt user who likes vim! Though I'm basically an emacs person, there are some editing tasks I like to do with vim - the line numbering alone is wonderful, there is no equivalent in emacs (and I've tried quite a lot of things!). So cheers to you. So far, I've basically been working with vim-latex, gnashing my teeth from time to time (oh the way they hijacked the alt key!). I've just added support for typesetting with texexec by adding this line to texrc: TexLet g:Tex_CompileRule_cont = 'texexec --pdf --nonstopmode $*' But I for one would be extremely happy if someone more knowledgeable would add proper ConTeXt support to vim the way Berend and Patrick added ConTeXt support to AucTeX!

In case someone finds this experimental piece of code for highlighting metapost inside ConTeXt useful, put:

" ConTeXt augroup filetypedetect au! BufRead,BufNewFile *.tex setfiletype context augroup END

somewhere to your filetype.vim (probably after TeX) and move the attached file to syntax\context.vim.

If you have something like \startMPpage draw ... \stopMPpage, it will do the syntax highligting for metapost inside the \start- \stop pair.

There are still some "bugs" present (see comments in file), but I don't know how yet to get rid of them.

I downloaded SpellChecker and SuperTab (autocomplete) today from the vim website and it works great! (see http://contextgarden.net/ Vim and feel free to add any useful stuff there)

I was astonished as I saw autocomplete work. There are only a couple of lines with an extraordinary functionality. I think that if someone writes a good script to convert texshow to vim syntax highlighting script, than autocomplete will be able to provide good hints for all the existing commands in ConTeXt and the corresponding parameters. I'll try to see what I can do, but please don't excpect any results too soon.
